What form of energy is represented by a book falling off a desk?

kinetic energy


A falling book in mid-air has what kindof energy?

A falling book in mid-air has what kind of energy?


If a book has fallen what energy has it change from?

A falling book exhibits a change from potential energy (rest) to kinetic energy (motion).


What happens to kinetic energy of a falling book when the book hits the floor?

turns into vibration and heat energy.


Is a book falling from a book shelf kinetic or potential?

When a book is falling from a bookshelf, it is in a state of kinetic energy because it is in motion. Potential energy arises when the book is stationary on the shelf due to its height above the ground.


What happen to the kinetic energy of a falling book when the book hits the floor?

when book is dropped from the height its kinetic goes on increasing and the sudden stop to the book when it touches the ground all the kinetic energy of the book is converted into potential energy of the book which helps the book to be stable after the impact, in short when the book hits the ground kinetic energy is converted to potential energy due to law conservation of energy.


If gravity is the only force present what is the total mechanical energy of a book falling off a shelf at a time when its potential energy is 50 J and its kinetic energy is 60 J?

110


What is the falling action in 'The Interlopers'?

There is no falling action in the book. the book jsut leaves you hanging


Is the show lying games based on the book the lying games?

Yes


What are 2 ways that you are able to sense energy from a book falling and hitting the floor?

How about the sound it makes and the puff of air movement it creates.


Is a book on a shelf potential energy?

Yes it is. Because it has the POTENTIAL of falling off. Very simple physics, learned that in 6th grade.


How much kinetic energy does a book have just it hits the floor?

Just about as much as it had potential energy before it started falling - since most of the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. The exact amount depends from how high it falls.
